MARIETTA, Ga., June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul® will host a grand-opening event on July 4, alongside the City of Marietta's Fourth in the Park Celebration, to unveil its newest indoor self-storage facility.

U-Haul at Roswell Street at 900 Roswell St. will offer attendees a free lunch, behind-the-scenes facility tours, U-Haul giveaways and more. The event is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and lunch will be served on a first-come basis.

U-Haul® will host a grand-opening event on July 4, alongside the City of Marietta’s Fourth in the Park Celebration, to unveil its newest indoor self-storage facility.

The modern 58,551-square-foot facility includes more than 400 self-storage units with high-tech security features at affordable price points. Customers can take advantage of U-Haul Remote 24/7® access, covered load/unload areas, U-Box® portable storage containers, U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® and more.

Two years of work went into redeveloping, expanding and enhancing the facility where a Chevrolet® dealership was in operation from 1954 to 1988. Other tenants came and went before U-Haul purchased the property in 2017.

Acquisition of the property was driven by U-Haul Corporate Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul supports infill developments to help local communities lower its carbon footprint. The adaptive reuse of existing buildings reduces the amount of energy and resources required for new-building materials and helps cities reduce their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.

"Our customers in Marietta have been asking for a state-of-the-art self-storage facility," said John Hairston, U-Haul Company of Atlanta West president. "This area is growing every day and we are pleased to be part of a close-knit community. The city's Fourth of July parade will close down Roswell Street, giving us the perfect opportunity to introduce ourselves to our neighbors."

Hours of operation are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

"We pride ourselves on convenience and offering a needed product. We're looking forward to showing off this facility to parade-goers," said Gardner.
